Thermometer Test

Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

Today is Domino day. It’s hard to get good pictures of a pure black cat like Domino, but the light was hitting her nicely when I took this picture and it shows her at her best. So let us all admire Domino and her beautiful white whiskers today. The other guy will be back next week.

And speaking of light, has anyone tried these new Pharox LED light bulbs? They seem very cool. Is the illumination good? How much light do they give off compared to an ordinary 60 watt incandescent? Do they come on immediately or do they need to warm up a bit like CFLs? I know what the specs say, but I’m curious if anyone has any personal experience to share.
